In my opinion, a good recipe for a party is one that doesn’t require a plate and a fork. A bowl and a spoon perhaps”¦ I’ll make an exception for chili, because the recipe below will blow your mind!

But you should be able to eat most with your hands – either in a tortilla or on a bun, or dip a chip into. And being able to make these in the slow cooker is advantageous as well.

Here are two reasons why the slow cooker is great for party recipes:

They’re easy, and they are all “dump recipes,” meaning you just place all the ingredients in the slow cooker and turn it on.

The food stays nice and warm for hours

Make one of these, and no matter what type of party you’re hosting, your guests will definitely have a good time (at least while eating!)
